Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

...product in particular is the Nintendo Wii, which despite having launched over a year ago, is still difficult to come by and very much in demand with nationwide shortages reported over the festive period. For those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a Wii, the first thing that will have struck you is that very peculiar shaped controller that looks like a TV Remote. And what's this other thing with an analogue stick on the top. That my friend ...
...seems very alien. If the Nintendo Wii is you first outing in the console gaming world, then just using any type of control scheme is going to be tricky. Thankfully though it seems to work. The main reason is, is that when you break it down, the separate Nunchuk controller isn't actually that different to the part of a normal controller that you would regularly control with your left hand. If for example you pick up an XBox 360 controller, you left ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

The Nintendo Wii has really taken the world of computer gaming by storm. In my opinion this is mainly the result of Nintendo looking at all aspects of gaming as we know it, and putting a completely different angle on it. The Nintendo Wii is not the first console to offer wireless controllers. However the way the user uses the controller and interacts with the games has pushed gaming in a new (albeit more physical) direction. What is the Wii remote? ...
...when playing games on the Nintendo Wii, it is a wireless controller that senses your movements (through built in sensors) and it interacts with the console (via infrared) through a sensor bar that is fitted just above or below the television. With a lot of the games for the Nintendo Wii, this is the only controller you will need. Although for certain games, the Nunchuk comes into play. It also needs two AA batteries to power it. It has a built ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

The Official Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller was made to replace the normal Wii controller for easier and comfortable game play. I used this controller at a friend's house as he recently purchased it so thought id check it out. The controller is designed and shaped to perfectly fit your hand. The controller has upgraded on the simplicity of the original Wii controller and goes that step further to meet the needs of die hard gamers. The Nunchuk controller ...
...is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller. The controller contains the same motion-sensor technology enabled in the original Wii controller but also includes an analog stick to help with character movements which gives it extra assistance. So basically you will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move your character and the original Wii controller to perform a certain action. The controller also contains two buttons positioned ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

...hands on the brand new Nintendo Wii console (not meaning to brag) and after weeks of solid gaming I thought it was about time I told the online world my opinions of it. For anybody that has been locked away from society over christmas the Wii is Nintendo's brand new home console machine. It was this christmas's must have gadget due to its new wireless motion sensetive controllers and fun, party orientated game play. All I will say about the Wii ...
...to the rather crazily named nintendo Wii Nunchuck controller. This device acts as a controller attatchment to the standard wii remote and allows for more complex gaming controls in specific games. Its retail price is 14.99 but is currently out of stock in most gaming outlets. The nunchuck itself is of high manufacturing quality and well designed in pure white plastic. it connects to the wii remote via a wire connection which seems strong enough ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

...And the minds at Nintendo have given it a smart ninja-like nickname that should catch on. It's very clear why they haven't made them permanently attatched as well - it would completely ruin the console. So lets get into the thick of this review then. My nunchuk controller came with my Wii today. Yep - I've got the gift that EVERYONE wants this Xmas and don't just downgrade my review because of that. Be nice. My nunchuk came free with the console ...
...with the rest of what Nintendo have brought out for the Wii. Nintendo have made a giant step to the future of video gaming here, and they should be applauded for it. The Wii does take a while to get used to (possibly even longer for younger players, so parents you might want to train up first) because it is a whole new way of playing, but once you do get used to it you will love it and your precious, the 'Nunchuk', will be a big part of your life. ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

The Wii Nunchuk controller is used with the Wii console, both produced by Nintendo. The Nunchuk is used by plugging it in to the bottom of the Wii Remote (see my reviews for a review on this too!), it's very simply to use and very simple in design. It is designed to be held in one hand and is suitable for use in many different games (you will be prompted by the Wii when you need to plug it in or when it's no longer required. There are three buttons ...
...these are used for playing in a variety of games from being a shooter to being a boxer. If you use this for boxing it will help you to weave and block yourself as well as help you throw punches. In a first person shooter style game you may well use the joystick for moving your character and the C & Z button to shoot your gun & aim. The design of this is fantastic, it is white to match the rest of the Wii equipment and the console itself, it's very ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

...those who aren’t aware the Nintendo Wii console uses wireless controllers with that being in two parts the main controller (which is used for all games) and is held in your dominant hand and the Nunchuck. The Nunchuck also communicates wirelessly with Wii but it can not work on it own, it has to be connected to the main controller by means of a short wire which plugs into the connector in the bottom of the main controller and it gets its power from ...
...any batteries of its own, however it does drain the main controller batteries a little. As implied above the Nunchuck is held in the less dominant hand and it fits very well due its shape. On the top is a thumb operated joystick (which is generally used for moving characters around games) underneath which is a trigger button (the ‘Z’ button). There is another (‘C’) button below this. Like the main controller the Nunchuck also has motion sensors ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

Another dimension in Wii gaming. This small yet powerful device plugs into the base of your wii remote and offers the same motion sensing cabability of the wii remote as well as a couple of shoulder buttons and an analogue stick. Altough this product is quite costly at £15 meaning that with a wii remote your looking at £45 for a game controller. It does add a whole new level to your wii experience as with its motion sensing the wii system can now ...
...Also the nunchuks analogue stick is very useful as it will be familiar to most gamers from there last gen consoles. This allows you easily to explore lands of games such as zelda. The nunchuk is definately something that would attract more serious gamers to the wii as the more casual games such as wii sports dont really require it. On the downside the nunchuk could do with being wireless as sometimes in fast paced games such as boxing i have got ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

The nunchuk is a completely new addition to the gaming world, and in my opinion, it is what sets the Wii apart from many other consoles. By having two controllers, the gameplay and reality increases dramatically (and often gets you tired out a lot quicker!). Admittedly, they have to be bought separately for multiplayer use, as only one comes with the console, but this is the same with ordinary controllers. They are generally used for sports game ...
...so tackling and catching are much more realistic). On Madden 08, the analog stick on the nunchuk is also used for movement. The curved shape means they fit comfortably into the palm of your hand, and a wrist strap is not required when playing, as they are plugged into the original Wii controller. Overall, I think the nunchuk adds a new dimension of gaming to the Wii, and that the Wii is not complete without one. Hope this has been helpful. ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

Bit wierd to use a first and why oh why did they put a cable on a controller for the wii!!! seems a bit against the grain to me. Once you get past the inital awkwardness of the cable the controller fits well into your hand and adds a good dimension to gaming. It's joystick is smooth and hard wearing (it's been batter around the floor by my 3yr old nephew!!). Just be a bit careful as it does tend to fly out of your hands when you get a bit sweaty ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

When i got my Wii, i made sure to have two Wii-Motes and 2 Nunchuks, and the Nunchuks were extremely expensive for what they are. The Nunchuk consists of a joystick, a C button and a Z button, all in a nice well-finished design. After hours of gaming, your Nunchuk will still be comfortable to hold onto, although it may be a little sweaty, depending on how hardcore a gamer you are, but it has a brilliant finish, and the white makes it look, clean? ...
...goes together with the Wii-Mote like cheese goes with tomato (original :-) ). I would of like to see the Wii-Mote being attatched to the Nunchuk by bluetooth, instead of the big long wire which gets tangled up underneath your cupboard, but the wire isn't that much of a hassle, and bluetooth would of boosted the Nunchuk price even further. So once the price is lowered, i would reccomend getting this, but make sure you have a Wii-Mote to go with ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

My boyfriend got me a nintendo wii a few months ago, and then i went and got another remote and a Nunchuck. It just clips into the wii remote and fits snuggly into your hand. It took me a while to grasp using to things at once (remote in one hand and nunchuck in the other). But once i got to grasps with it i found it made the games better to play. Its such a clever idea and it makes you feel as if your in the game. The nunchuck has a little joystick ...
